Look into Skywind and rejoice 😊

I kind of like the way "reducles" sounds in my head. "Rih-duck-uls"

Always satisfying to see Luffy just grabbing enemies like they're nothing. He's so fun :)

Can anyone help me remember what the robot thing is at the very last panel?

I don't trust like that.

"Stray Gods" is an incredibly beautiful game. I was turned off by the playstyle at first, but then I embraced it and got really invested in the characters and the story. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys Greek mythology and/or fantastic stories about interpersonal drama and enjoys games with tough dialogue choices.

The soundtrack also!!! It's a musical game and the songs are all SO BEAUTIFUL. I teared up a few times.

I'm playing through Dragon Quest 11 when I have time! I'm really enjoying the characters and the art! The story is... Okay. Nothing to write home about. The music was good, but then after having it repeat over and over and over and over it has kind of started making me grit my teeth. I also kind of wish the game was a little shorter? It feels extremely long, but I think that's a side-effect of me hearing the same songs over and over and the plot not really clicking with me as well as some other stories have.

Critiques aside, I really love Sylvando; I think he's the best character I've seen in a long time! So flamboyant, yet so caring and complex. And the art is really pretty and pleasant to look at at times.

I'm still gonna stick it out to the end, because I feel like I'm close to the end now anyway and maybe it'll leave on a really high note :)

Oh, of course. I don't think I'm doing some major thing by pirating a game, I promise. Though, to be entirely honest, there are so many games out there and so little time to play them all, I might as well just focus on the games that don't make me feel dirty.

I should clarify I'm not calling for a boycott; thinking realistically, I believe the gaming community is way too large/relatively uninformed for something like that to work. I'm simply trying to be mindful about how I spend my money.

For WotC, it's a combination of their OGL licensing controversy and them sending the Pinkertons to someone's house to threaten them over Magic cards.

It sounds like you're struggling with the same ethical dilemmas that I am, and you're doing the best you can to consider your purchases as you make them. I think donating to the Trevor Project is an incredible way to spend your money.

As you seem like someone that aligns with me in some ways, do you have any game recommendations that don't cause either of us to "feel the ick," so to speak?

Haha, this is a fair response. I'm considering it for the companies that make me feel more icky, but whose games seem really fun.

Thank you for your comfort. I think I'm trying to hold myself to realistic standards. When I can choose, and the options are many - such as with media - I feel I can cut out the options which don't align with my values. As I stated elsewhere, I cannot hold myself to this standard with food and clothing. The ethically-pure options are too limited to result in a realistic and affordable lifestyle for me.
